MELODY OF LOVE: Arrived Marriage
Mother's Advice
Melody walked off campus. Walk through the trotoal. The autumn day begins to have poor sunlight. The air is getting colder.
In less than two weeks of Yudha's graduation, if this continues then he will find it difficult to congratulate Yudha. Even though just saying 'congratulations' is that difficult? Melody's side of heart asked like that, but, if the atmosphere was not supportive, then such simple words would be very difficult to say.
"Why do I always make things this simple? Why can't I be like I used to be able to go through things without a burden? Why does it feel like there's a chain link blocking me now? Chained my legs and made it difficult for me to move freely. Makes me feel like I'm imprisoned in a tight space."
Melody walked away aimlessly. Somehow, his footsteps took him to the yard of his house which was not so far from the campus.
But if you walk, it's actually very far away.
His unclear mind did not seem to make him aware let alone exhausted. He knew he had reached his own home.
That simple house has changed a lot. It's been renovated here and there. Remember, it's money from his business marriage with Yudha. If it wasn't for that, maybe the house would've been sold to pay off his family's debts.
His desire to save his father's house requires a great sacrifice. He began to realize, just married business is not enough, lara heart and eat feelings began to come whack.

Melody entered his house. He was welcomed by his mother. The mother looks very pale. It was indeed autumn that felt very cold, but his mother looked so thick using a layered coat. It's not what it used to be.
From then on, she realized that her mother was sick.
Melody scolded her mother for not being able to take care of herself. Living alone is not easy.
"Mom, I'm sorry I could have taken better care of you. Sorry I can't stay with you."
It was also a mistake, he had not asked his mother the news these past few days. He had so many thoughts that he forgot his own mother.
Melody felt that she was currently acting very evil. Despite being married and living apart, her birth mother is still the most important figure in her life. His mother struggled alone to support his life. If only he had been more sensitive, maybe his mother wouldn't have been sick like this.
"Drink, Mom!" Melody gave her mother the medicine she bought at a pharmacy not far from her home.
My mother drank it. After her mother laid her down, Melody covered her with a thick blanket. Given the time his mother was living alone, that fact made her smell. He endured his crying.
"Go home, boy! Mommy's gonna get better." Tsuchiya, her mother.
"I'll stay the night. I told Ayane-nee. Mother don't worry. I'll keep mommy well." Melody smiled.
"You're a married woman, you need permission from your husband. If your husband doesn't give you permission, then you can't argue with him!"
Melody just shut up. He did not tell Yudha. Let alone asking permission, talking as usual with Yudha felt very difficult. Especially at this time, it felt like he wanted to stay away from Yudha.
"Eh. Yea?"
"Have you spoken to Yudha?"
"Ayane-nee will tell him later, Mother. He's in the office right now, can't call him. He's very busy, Mom."
Yudha was busy in the office, she wasn't lying. But he was actually allowed to call Yudha, only that she would not do so.
"Is that so? Yes, Melody..."
"Yes?"
"Mom's heard your household rumors. Many of our neighbors ask. You guys talked about it?"
"So mom got sick thinking about my house with Yudha? Mom please, I just have a mom. Don't hurt! My problem with Yudha must have a solution. For now I just want to see it."
Honestly, he doesn't even know what to do.
Again, the relationship is complicated.
"Mother is sick because she is old, after all the weather is very cold. Understand Melody. Don't just look at it, the longer you look at it, the harder it's going to be for you to determine your direction. Don't be so long like this! Start to make strides, dare yourself! Communicating may be a good way. You're here alone, I'm sure. You're avoiding Yudha, aren't you?"
Kinggo.
His mother was an angel who always understood him. Melody is grateful to have a mother figure like Tsuchiya. It's chatty, but very warm. Her mother is the best.
"Your mother and father used to fight a lot, often keeping quiet. But, one of us must have given up on speaking first, so we will quickly improve. There are times when you have to lower your ego, Melody. That good. Forever maintaining that high ego will only lead you to destruction. Don't stay quiet too long, if it's too long, you might feel alien to him."
Feeling foreign to Yudha? Almost seven months ago he also felt alien to Yudha. A day later, he and Yudha got married. In that short period of time, he was able to make 'friendship' with Yudha. He remembered, Yudha started first. What does it mean for Yudha to lower her ego to ponder the conversation with her?
Should he do it now? Isn't this his turn?
"Mom rest. I will accompany mom. You don't have to worry about me and Yudha or even the rumors. Yudha and I will talk about it. We're staying in the roof, rooming, bedding too, Mom. Gradually, we will definitely open our mouths to discuss the rumors. I just need to prepare my heart for a moment. Yudha must be like that too. Yudha is also in trouble just like me."
"Mom trusts you guys. I believe in your marriage too. I always pray for your good."
Melody remembers well. The words from his mother were the exact same words as Vijaya's grandfather, Mikan's mother, and Chiyo's grandmother. They all advised him with those words after the Yudha and Yura scandal was reported by the media.
Almost every day the mother-in-law called her from Germany to ask her news. Melody always said that things would get better to make her mom stop worrying. He also received a two-hour lecture from his grandfather about the chapter of marriage and the importance of marriage.
Melody could not understand why her family and Kazehaya's family were so concerned about her marriage to Yudha. If you look at the family history, Melody believes that if she is no one in front of the Kazehaya family, she is just a blood donor for Vijaya's grandfather.
That is, if the Kazehaya family kicked him out, it could happen. He also cannot do much. It is nothing and nobody.
